Google Summer of Code, with AOSSIE and the Djed Alliance, Remote

Blockchain Intern, May 2024 to September 2024

  • Developed, tested and deployed an oracle adapter for Djed, a crypto-backed algorithmic stablecoin on EVM-based networks.
  • Worked on Djed Shu: built a converter that adapts one-price oracles to two-price oracles by tracking the maximum and minimum prices over 24 hours.

Selected work

  • Djed stablecoin protocol (2023 to 2026): Oracle adapters, deployment scripts and the Shu oracle converter for Djed, a crypto-backed stablecoin protocol.
  • ZeroXBridge (2025): Deployment tooling for the L1 (Solidity) and L2 (Cairo) contracts, MMR index fixes in the Cairo bridge contract, and a Starknet burn-event fetcher in the Rust sequencer.
  • zkVM benchmarks (2024): Added the RISC Zero programs (Fibonacci, SHA-256, Poseidon hash) to babybear-labs' benchmark of zkVMs and proving schemes.
  • Haystack (2026): Private Electrum sync for Bitcoin light wallets: each real address hides among decoys, and an attacker module scores the privacy in bits.
  • Starknet to Ethereum relayer (2026): Backend relayer for a startup's cross-chain yield product: batches Starknet vault deposits, bridges them to Ethereum with StarkGate and supplies them to Aave and Compound.
  • web3-DREAM11 (2023 to 2025): Fantasy-cricket marketplace on Base Sepolia: teams bid for players in on-chain auctions, Chainlink Automation runs the auction clock and Chainlink Functions fetches the rankings.
  • CrossChain-Hub (2023 to 2024): A relay for calling a function on another chain over Chainlink CCIP: an API builds the payload, a sender contract pays the fee, a receiver contract makes the call.
